Project Vigil: D-Day 2014, The saluting boy on Omaha beach

Last year during the 70th anniversary of D-Day, an 11 year old boy visited Normandy, France and spent four days teaching visitors and tourists about three paratroopers who had been buried in the American Cemetery. During the official ceremony local police didn’t allow him to enter the cemetery in his WWII style uniform. So instead, the boy took his American flag down to Omaha Beach and put it in the sand while staring out into the ocean, saluting. About 5 minutes in on the video something amazing happens, check it out below.
